Open letter to the Prime Minister Of Malaysia

1. It was reported that you had recently despatched your officers to investigate the dispute over 3,305 hectares of communal forests between the natives and a logging company which the natives claim to be their native customary rights land, situated between Sungai Sebangan and Sungai Sebuyau in Sarawak.
2. If this report is indeed true, then we are optimistic that only intervention from your goodself would resolve the matter amicably.

3. The situation has deteriorated badly and there is grave concern that it might escalate to violence and lives may be at risk. The latest development can be read here.

4. The logging company in question is Quality Concrete Holdings and one of its directors is Datuk Raziah Mahmud, the sister to the Chief Minister of Sarawak. She is making headlines today on the internet with an expose reporting that she had recently taken a loan of RM880,000 million from RHB Bank to finance a project of which its nature is still unknown.

5. The Iban, who are using their own bodies as the human shield of the blockade, are looking to you, their Prime Minister, to intervene and acknowledge their rights over their communal land.

6. While you’re at it, sir, perhaps you could also instruct your Minister of Natural Resources & Environment to look into the country’s worst ever environmental disaster happening a few miles away in the Rejang river. Perhaps you have not been informed about it as you have been busy with the Budget, but it really is a natural calamity of gigantic proportions which everybody in the Government is trying to sweep under the carpet.

7. YAB Prime Minister, please show us that you really mean what you say when you said you are the Prime Minister for all Malaysians because action speaks louder than words.

Thank you, sir.

PEOPLE FIRST, PERFORMANCE NOW.

Sincerely,

Nising Dani
